\n\tSince being acquired in a low-wattage trade in late April, Kody Clemens<\/a> has emerged as a central figure in the team\u2019s torrid May turnaround. Previously a fringe big-leaguer best known for being Roger\u2019s kid, Clemens has hit .318 with a 1.070 OPS and delivered multiple game-changing home runs in the new uniform, not to mention a walk-off double Wednesday against the Guardians that sent Target Field into delirium. The Twins are 17-6 since Clemens came aboard.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSo what changed?\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s the Codys, man,\u201d Clemens said postgame, ice still melting off his jersey. \u201cThere\u2019s something happening here. I show up in Minnesota, and suddenly I\u2019m surrounded by Codys \u2014 writing about the team, tweeting, podcasting, probably grilling brats in the parking lot. I don\u2019t know what to tell you. The energy is\u2026 real.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tClemens went on to clarify: \u201cYeah, they all spell it the wrong way, but still. I can feel their power.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by the Codys themselves, particularly those with long-standing influence in the Twins Daily ecosystem. When informed of Clemens\u2019 comments, writer Cody Christie responded, \u201cWe\u2019ve always known the Cody Effect was no myth. Frankly, we\u2019re just glad the Twins are finally tapping into it intentionally.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded fellow TD contributor Cody Schoenmann: \u201cPeople think it\u2019s just a coincidence. But I’ve been saying ever since Stashak and later Funderburk emerged as key bullpen contributors: this is an environment where Codys are set up to thrive.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCody Pirkl, also a writer and noted defensive metrics enjoyer, was more analytical. \u201cThe sample size is small,\u201d he said, \u201cbut the WARPC (Wins Above Replacement Per Cody) is tracking at an all-time high. If you adjust for capitalization variance, it\u2019s basically elite.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKody Clemens, for his part, seems to have embraced the supernatural theory entirely. \u201cI mean look, I was just trying to stay in the league. Now I\u2019m out here hitting bombs and getting bathed in Gatorade. Something shifted. That something is Cody-based.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the Twins continue their charge through the American League, one thing is clear: the Codys\u2014and Kodys, and Codi Heuer<\/a> or Kodi Whitley<\/a>, too, should they happen to stumble in here\u2014are not to be trifled with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since being acquired in a low-wattage trade in late April, Kody Clemens has emerged as a central figure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2388],"tags":[5,461,822,60,3190,4,148],"class_list":{"0":"post-47969","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-twins","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-kody-clemens","10":"tag-minnesota","11":"tag-minnesota-twins","12":"tag-minnesotatwins","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-twins"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114555527421852813","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
